Abstract

This study sought to identify technologies existing in the literature and their use in promoting patient safety in the medication process. An integrative review was performed in the following databases: Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature, Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online, Spanish Bibliographic Index of Health Sciences, Nursing Database, PubMed Central, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Web of Science and SciVerse Scopus, including articles published between 2013 and 2017. Twenty international articles composed the final sample, ten (50%) published in the year 2014. Eleven technologies were identified, with prevalence of four regarding prescribed steps (36.3%) and four regarding drug administration (36.3%), with the technologies most investigated being: Radio Frequency Identification, Computerized Physician Order Entry and Bar-Code- Assisted Medication Administration.
